Let's Bee Social #91

Gossip Girl here....
Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of the Let's Bee Social elite.

Last week I shared with you, the troubles of being kept in a box for a full year. This UFO got some serious attention since it's rediscovery. I pieced the triangles into half hexagons. And then laid them out according to the design plan.

But they did not amount to much. And she just wasn't doing it for me. Too clicky. Too crowded. Too symmetrical. Just too much. This layout would have been about 25" x 50".

So I thought about adding some negative space to the mix and spreading out those "asterisk like" hexagon blocks. I cut out a whole lot of plain white Kona Snow triangles and also sewed them into half hexagon shapes.

Then back to the old design wall I went.

Much better, I think I like it. This layout is approximately 40" x 50" now. But there's more.....


I mentioned the off cuts from making those asterisk triangles from the strip sets. And had thought they looked really cool in the triangle setting as seen below right. But this requires sewing them together with a Y seam. And then having to deal with more triangles.

So I laid them out in rows instead, as seen at the top of the photo below, and intend to use them as some kind of border. And then there are some pieces left from the strips sets that I want to use up.

Improv and borders aren't usually my thing.... We shall see!



Now it's time for the linky party!!!!! What's buzzing at your hive?
